It was a sad day for us yesterday, we had to say goodbye to a very dear friend... Malcolm. Its been emotional, to summarise we've clocked up 3,348 miles, 2 islands, 1 ferry crossing, 2 glaciers, 1 canyon swing, 2 sperm whales, 24 free range eggs, 4 fergburgers, 2 seasons of The Wire, 21 holiday parks, and countless adventures together - Malcolm... god speed.
